Author: Bert Gildart, Special to The Christian Science Monitor
ARCTIC VILLAGE, ALASKA - In this tiny Alaskan town of 120, north of Anchorage and the Arctic Circle, beyond the imaginary line where summer days and winter nights become endless, Sarah James, a Gwich'in Indian leader, is rolling in cash - $130,000 to be exact, a 2001 grant from the Ford Motor Co.
It is, at first glance, an unlikely pairing: Ford products devour oil and gas; the Gwich'in (pronounced guh-WHICH-in) depend on caribou for everything from their meals to the gloves that keep their hands warm.
Ostensibly, then, they are rivals when it comes to the future of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR), home to the Porcupine Caribou upon which the Gwich'in depend. Adjacent to Arctic Village, the refuge is coveted by petroleum companies and guarded zealously by activists like Ms. James.
Last November, Ford awarded James a fellowship as one of the "Emerging Leaders in a Changing World," a group of 20 outstanding but little-known national leaders.
